Liverpool doctors win European award for baby resuscitation trolley which could save lives

LIVERPOOL doctors won a European award for designing a resuscitation trolley which could save the lives of vulnerable babies.

Consultant obstetrician at Liverpool Women’s hospital Andrew Weeks led the team which produced the bedside trolley– a small portable version of a large resuscitation unit.

It can be used even during a Caesarean.

The accolade was given to the team at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards.

Dr Weeks said: “With it, we can delay cord clamping and resuscitate the baby.ŠThis should give added support to new-borns.”
